April 2008 RAK ATTACK!

[Carole Cadek]

Welcome to the April 2008 RAK Attack


VICTIM'S INFO SENT


A RAK is a Random Act of Kindness, and a RAK Attack is this group of participants mailing some sort of surprise to a ‘victim’ who is selected by vote through private messages sent by you. Please try to send the name/user name of the ATCsforAll member and their address (if available) when you sign up. (Please one nominee, per person.)

This is not a popularity contest it is simply our small way of spreading cheer in our little community. This particular RAK is intended for members of ATCsforAll. If you have friends in need of a RAK feel free to open a new thread and let us know, there's always someone to step up and contribute.

One person per month, not the same person in a year. A list is maintained to assure no repeats. If you nominate someone who is ineligible I will send you a private message to send in alternate nominations. The RAK host (me) cannot be RAKed.

Who to nominate and why?
Any member who is going through a rough time and could use a smile, who has been especially helpful or accommodating, the victim does not have to be a participant in the monthly RAK, just any member of ATCsforAll.

What to Send On a RAK Attack
Anything Goes: ATCs, Arty bits, cards, Handwritten written wishes on handmade or pretty stationary, Envies, Handmade stationary for gift, Candy, cookies, Stickers, Books, Artwork, Encouraging words, Poetry, favorite quotes. You decide what to send based on how much time you have and what your budget is, look to the supplies you already have and all it will cost you is a stamp.

How Do I participate?:

1. Post in this thread to sign up

2. PM me one member nomination and their address, if you have this info, it is extremely helpful. This information is always kept secret from the participants so do not ask.

3. I will PM you all with the address of the RAK recipient and the date to start mailing out. Expect to see this info around the 15th of the month. You can only receive this information from the host (me) so please do not ask others.

This is a surprise! Please do not tell the RAK recipient-let them find out in the mail.

This is a surprise! Please do not tell the RAK recipient-let them find out in the mail.
Please PM me if you have any questions.

Remember, the RAK is to bring a smile to somebody and show them we care.

All participants welcomed up until a day or two before the mail date provided you can still mail on that date.
(And don't forget the Make A Child Smile "MACS" also located in this forum)

Sign up! Make somebody's day!

Cairn, that's fine. Yes I did, the nice thing about a RAK is that it does go on for awhile.:wubclub:

[Shrivelfig]

Eek, I'm another toerag drawing it out. I kept forgetting to take it with me when I left the house but it has now finally found its way into a mail box! It'll get there, it's just dawdling somewhat. :rolleyes:

[GALZART]

Thanks Gail, they're not late, I asked for US between the 25th-27th. You have time to spare. LOL :wubclub:


Thanks, Carole...I was having a Senior Moment yesterday...was trying to track down a "missing" direct deposit in my bank account when the nice man reminded me it was only the 25th and not May 1st. :arghh: Also dated an important check May 1st..had to inform recipiant that the bank probably wouldn't cash it because it was postdated. It was not a good day yesterday.

[TherapyArtist]

Well, it's been obvious through all the mail that I have been chosen. I have happy tears in my eyes when I say Thank You all so much. I am trying to get a special thanks to each of you - but times are still a little hard. Getting better because of people like you, though. You guys don't know how much this means to me. I love you all and if there's ever anything I can do for you, please ask. I love all my goodies! It feels like my birthday! Warm wishes and great big hugs to all of you!

Mary aka TherapyArtist

btw - I'm looking for part-time work now. I don't feel ready, but I have to. (I'm sure you know all about it with our economy.) Wish me luck!

[julietbowers]

Mine went in the mail today. I am sorry for the late mailing -- I don't know where the month went!

julie

[Carole Cadek]

Juliet, that's fine :wubclub:

[TherapyArtist]

I am so trying to keep up with all of my thank yous! I hope I have caught up and haven't missed anyone. Does anyone know a Catherine in ellsworth, wi. I have an envelope and don't know if it's from a RAK attack or not. I don't know the userid for this person.

Anyway, thank you to you all. Sincerely and from the deep parts of my heart!

[adifferentstory]

[Tweety]

Carol, I am a little late. But, mine went out today.
